Offaly Senior Championships - Tipsters Competition
How now Folks.
Blatantly robbing the idea from GAAboard, I think we should have a tipping competition here, based on the Offaly senior championships. I propose the format be as follows:
(i) One Competition, football and hurling combined. Most people will by nature lean towards one or the other, but sure if you dominate the hurling, but lose on account of not knowing your big ball you can act all smug, as hurling people are so good at!
(ii) Obviously there should be a clear reason not to just pick the favourites all the time, so I propose the following system:
Matches which are close enough, i.e. 60/40 or closer, which will be all games unless I mark them otherwise, will return 2 points for correctly picking a winner.
Matches where there is a clear favourite, i.e. Rhode vs Ferbane this week, will have the teams marked in brackets - (F) for the favourite, and (U) for the underdog. Successfully tipping the favourite returns 1 point. Successfully tipping the underdog returns 3 points.
Successfully tipping a draw in any game returns five points.
(iii) You may only make one pick per match, obviously enough.
(iv) Tips entered late will obviously be not allowed.
(v) The prize is self satisfaction. Very worthy, I'm sure you'll agree!
So For this week, here are your fixtures.
Shamrocks v Tullamore
Shannonbridge v Edenderry
Clara v Doon
Rhode (F)v Ferbane (U)
Erin Rovers (U)v Ballycumber (F)
Good Luck All!
